Note
slept:7.0 (rest day)

Still very sore calves, so running in the snow would be a bad idea. I hope my legs will feel better soon. Tomorrow and on friday i'll go cycling, on saturday i'm in portugal for the start of the portugal-o-meeting.

Short recuperation run in Gemeentepark, i still have very sore calves.

Note
slept:7.0 (rest day)

Restday: recovering from the weekend (i have very sore calves, already since intervaltraining last wedneday). My knee was good during the weekend, so i'm not sure if i have to go for a 2nd injection before the trainingscamp in Portugal next week.
The trainingscamp in Otterlo was really perfect. Trained a lot of kilometers, very nice and technical maps and good opponents (German, Trol and the Netherlands) during the fast trainings.
